1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"You said your horse scared me like this. This is the oriental pearl that came out of the palace. Now it has cracks and is worthless."

"Hey..., you are so unlucky. Didn't you say you were going to get married? Such a precious thing, you have to keep it well."

"That's right. I didn't sell it even if he offered me 300 yuan. I kept it carefully. It was scared by his horse and fell to the ground and broke."

"What a pity. This thing should be a good thing. It is worthless if it is broken."

...

"Can't you think of a new routine? Why do you always get married? Do you have a wife?"

After listening for a while, Chen Tiezhu got out of the car and walked in.

The buddy who was performing hard looked up and cursed in his heart.

It's so unlucky. Why did I meet him again?

"Brother, I really didn't lie this time. Look at this bead, it's so big, and this is the crack that just appeared."

The man decided to give it a try, after all, he had already upgraded his performance.

Chen Tiezhu took the bead, weighed it in his hand, and looked at the man with a strange expression.

"It's really cracked, look at the crack on it." The man said with a wry smile.

"Well, I believe you cracked it, but what Dongzhu is nonsense." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"You made this thing almost as big as a small egg, and it's called Dongzhu. Do you know what Dongzhu is? You just heard people say it and come out to deceive people."

"Dongzhu is the pearl produced in our Northeast. It was indeed a tribute in the past, but it was also used by the royal family as decorations on court clothes."

"Where can you hang it if it's so big? And it came from the palace. Are you a royal relative? Otherwise, the people working in the palace are either eunuchs or maids. How can it be so easy to get out?"

Listening to Chen Tiezhu's ridicule, the onlookers laughed.

Especially the coachman, who breathed a sigh of relief.

It should be said that after their fraudulent methods were upgraded, they really looked real.

Especially when such a big pearl was taken out, there were cracks on it. Who wouldn't be scared? How much money would it cost to pay?

"Brother, I really didn't mean to extort money from others. This is a real pearl. I bought it for thirty yuan." The guy who was trying to scam people said with grievance.

Chen Tiezhu grabbed the pearl and sniffed it close to his nose. He looked at him with disdain, "You are also a fool. Smell it yourself."

The guy didn't know what he meant. He took it back and sniffed it close to his nose.

"Do you smell a fishy smell?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"Uh..., doesn't it have to smell a little fishy? This thing must grow in a big clam shell, so it must be fishy." The guy hurriedly made an excuse.

"Nonsense, then you say that the emperor is wandering around with a fishy smell all day long?" Chen Tiezhu said unhappily.

The guy grinned, it seems that he is finished. Today's fall was in vain. Why is he so miserable.

"This thing of yours is actually made of fish glue and fish scales." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"It's got a hole in it, right? I spent thirty yuan to buy it, but it's not even worth three yuan. If there's no crack, it's fine to play with at home."

"It won't work now. It can't get wet, especially hot water. After getting wet, the whole bead will crack. Just like the fish bladder glue used by our carpenters, the one who made this thing is not as good as the one who made that thing."

"Why can't you pay more attention? Why do you always think about these crooked ways? If you had put some thought into it, your little tricks wouldn't have been exposed so quickly."

When the buddy heard this, he got up from the ground very honestly, "It's my bad luck that I always run into you. He's not another fellow from your village, is he?"

"Hahaha, that's not the case. But did you really spend thirty yuan to buy this broken bead? It's a big investment." Chen Tiezhu laughed.

"I didn't spend thirty, I spent twenty-five, so I was also fooled." The buddy who was trying to scam people looked embarrassed.

He also chose to tell the truth, because he knew that there was a huge difference in strength between him and Chen Tiezhu.

And after the last contact, he also knew that Chen Tiezhu was a "reasonable" person. If he admitted it honestly, he would not make it too difficult for him.

It was just a habitual lie. He was indeed fooled, but it only cost five yuan.

"You guys, what can I say? Why can't you do something good for your livelihood? Always thinking about making money by doing something illegal?" Chen Tiezhu glanced at them and said.

After being scolded by Chen Tiezhu, several people grinned awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Forget it, I don't bother to pay attention to you. After all, it has disrupted your business., although this thing is useless, it's okay for my daughter to play with. "Chen Tiezhu weighed the beads in his hand again.

"I'll give you ten yuan, don't do these things anymore. No one's life is easy, everyone is suffering, and the money you extort may be their annual expenses. "

This statement also won the approval of the people around who were watching the fun. This young man is really kind.

"What are you still standing there for? Can you tell me whether you will sell it or not? If you don't sell it, I'll leave. It's better to buy a flower ball for my daughter to play with. "

Seeing that the guy who was scamming the car didn't say anything, Chen Tiezhu urged him, and he was a little nervous.

"Sell, sell, sell, how can I not sell it. Although I lose money, my brother is also helping me. "The guy who hit me said hurriedly.

He was so happy in his heart.

The reason why he hesitated just now was because he was afraid that Chen Tiezhu would know that he bought it for five yuan and punish him later.

Now I can't blame myself. I bought it for twenty-five yuan. You are a fool.

"Don't call me big brother. You are older than me. Here you go. Take the money. If my daughter didn't want it, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you."

After saying that, Chen Tiezhu took out a big unity and stuffed the bead into Doudou's hand.

Doudou frowned.

Do you want it?

What's the use of this thing? It's not very good.

Dad said it's rare, so let it be rare.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother, you have the ability, but you should be less arrogant, that's big brother. "The guy who was trying to scam the car took the car and was very happy.

"Oh, is this guy the young leader of Erdaoling Village? He is really amazing."

"So righteous, so righteous, driver, why don't you thank the young leader?"

"That's right, thanks to the young leader, otherwise you would be cheated."

...

When they heard about the young leader, everyone connected it with the recent rumors.

"Haha, thank you all, no need to thank me, I am just a busybody." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"I have to go home too, there are still many things to do at home. You guys remember, don't always do these weird things, or you will have a baby without anus in the future."

After saying that, he got into the car with Doudou in his arms, started it and drove away.

"Bah, young leader, just a fool. "The scammer cursed inwardly.

Chen Tiezhu, who was driving, was also very happy.

He was a professional scammer. Who would use a real weapon to scam people? He was just a fool.
